That episode had some really great scenes. The two that stood out were so subtle that you'd miss it if you weren't paying attention.

The first scene was when the medic wanted to go on patrol and the soldiers told him to stay back.

The second scene was when the soldiers were on line for grub. A soldier put out his cup for his share of the watery gruel, and then put out the medic's cup and said this one's for the doc, and the other other soldier filled up the cup with all the beans.

The soldiers were protecting the medic and giving him the best food because they knew the doc would be there for them if they got hit. It was interesting to see the doc running around during the fighting without regard to the bullets flying or the mortars exploding.

I didn't even notice that. It is amazing the attention to detail that was given to the production. I guess you could credit Capt. Dale Dye who was the show's technical advisor (and also played Colonel Robert Sink). He really did a great job.
